Duas Quintas from Ramos Pinto

When I blogged about the Cuvee de 2 Soeurs as a champagne with solera aged base wines, I immediately thought of this wine, as this is also made from the fruit of two vineyards. I tasted this in the 2009 Wine Fair and I cannot remember if the representative at the booth answered my question or if he pointed to the two tawnies. You see, Ramos Pintos is a Port firm which has branched out into making table wines. They make a full range of vintage of tawny ports, and their 10yr old and 20yr old tawnies are from different vineyards, the names of which appears of the labels. The 10yr tawny is from Quinta de Ervamoira whilst the 20yr old tawny is from Quinta do Bom Retiro. Perhaps the table wines are also from these vineyards. On the other hand, the 30yr old tawny does not indicate its origin.
